Why People Rarely Discuss the Wave Function of Anyons - Explained

it seems that people never talk about the wave function of a few anyons

why?

i guess the reason is that if they consider the wave function, then they will only get bosons or fermions

they cannot get anyons from a wave function

In other words, there is no such thing like a wave function of anyons.

That doesn't make any sense.

Ayons are restricted to two dimensions - it would have a two dimensional wavefunction.

Thanks

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
